Galvanizing helps prevents rust and corrosion—especially when steel is exposed to moisture or corrosive materials, with common applications such as:

• Automotive & heavy trucks
• Culverts
• Decking
• Electrical enclosure
• Framing connectors
• Grain bins
• Guardrails
• In-ground pools
• Metal framing/studs
• Purlins, girts & struts

It's not just about how we coat. It's what we can coat, for a wide range of needs:

• Galvanized cold rolled and hot rolled steel (unlike other galv coating lines)
• Differential coatings to minimize costs, such as G30 on one side, G90 on the other
• Galvanneal coatings for post-painted applications
• Add on one-stop, full-service capabilities, including cut-to-length and slitting

We offer acrylic coating, which further enhances corrosion protection and helps keep zinc looking brighter longer. It's applied inline over the galvanizing (at coating weights G30-G210). This acrylic coating also improves lubricity for roll forming or forming. Our primary acrylic is non-tinted.

We were curious. We knew acrylic coating helped prevent the formation of white rust on galvanized. But how much? And could we find other reasons to use it? Our Materials Support team tested acrylic vs. chromate. Read to learn why acrylic’s the best choice for a variety of manufacturing processes and applications.

Galvanizing is one important step in the process of making your steel. We’re a one-stop shop, with the expertise, experience, and capacity to add pickling, slitting and oscillate slitting, temper rolling, and more. Whatever it takes to make your steel perform, we can deliver it.

We've seen it. And we solved it. This technical case study shows how we can team with you to improve your process.
